About Us

We are two moms who enjoy exploring the world of science and math with our preschool aged girls. We (the moms and the girls) love to do experiments and let our kids explore and test out new ideas. The most important thing that we believe is that the kids have fun! We hope that you will enjoy this blog and get some ideas of a few fun activities to do with your child at home. Check back with us often as we add new posts weekly.

Jen and Victoria have co-founded littleBLAST: an early education science activities series.
